RPPR Episode 178: Heists 101

News: My book Zombies of the World is out! Buy it today! Don’t forget to check out Night Clerk Radio as well.

Synopsis: We are preparing for a Blades in the Dark campaign, so Caleb, Birk, and I talk about planning heists as players. Heists are harder for some players to comprehend because force isn’t always an option. Discretion and cunning are harder to learn than murderhoboery, but hopefully this will help!

  1. I’m also setting up a Blades campaign, were the PCs are gun runners rather than thieves or assassins, so the heistst are more social oriented than your typical heist games.

  2. Thank you for doing this! I’m in a heist game of DND and have no idea how to set one up.

  3. I am super excited for this Blades in the Dark campaign incredibly so its such a fun system
